Currently in beta, Copilot for Telegram allows users to engage with the AI chatbot as if it were a real-life friend.
Whether you’re seeking movie recommendations, checking sports scores, or exploring general knowledge queries, Copilot is ready to converse.
The feature can be accessed by searching for @CopilotOfficialBot on Telegram, available for free on both mobile devices and desktop (with the requirement of providing a phone number).

Microsoft’s integration of Copilot into third-party services like Telegram is a notable development, suggesting the company’s desire to make its AI chatbot a ubiquitous presence across various social platforms.
This move follows similar efforts by tech giants like Meta, testing AI assistants on Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp, and Google’s Gemini, which leverages generative AI within Google Messages on Android devices.
